Perroquetsecours is looking for the best possible family for the following bird who was found on April 14th 2017 in Mirabel QC and who was properly surrendered to Perroquetsecours. This bird can not leave his foster family home before June 14th 2017, our policy being that the every found bird must remain in our foster care for two months, time for us to search for the owner or to allow time for the owner to manifest himself, which has been done. The bird is currently Longueuil QC.

Habits and personality: (text based on her foster family's observations)

Zora is a Senegal Parrot with the strong character specific to the specie. Shy at first, she lets herself being manipulated and is clear in her messages. When she has enough, she will let you know. She does not bite but will grab you firmly to make the message clear. She does not like to venture to far from her cage and prefers to stay on or around it. Having her wings trimmed, you will notice that it restrains her in her movements, her exercises or her need to escape when she is afraid. It will therefore be important for the adoptive parent to let her wings grow back. On the other hand, special attention will be needed to supervise her flight as she will have a tendency to go towards doors and windows.

Quite calm, she loves to stay on the shoulder and lets us do her nails quite easily, while in a towel without making any fuss. She does not particularly like cats but tolerates them. On the other hand, she will not allow herself to be approached too closely by them. Pellets have been offered to her but she does not seem to appreciate them very much. Perseverance will therefore be required for pellet feeding. For now, she prefers mixed seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables. Despite the fact that she does not speak, she produces funny little sounds, like the sound of water drops that burst and says: titi coco. Zora loves to nibble everything under her paws, so getting her a variety of toys to destroy will be a must.

Reason for placing in adoption:

The bird was found and surrendered to Perroquetsecours. He stayed two months in our foster care, time for us to search to find the owner without success. Our mandate has been completed and now the bird can be put up for adoption. The adoption fee for this bird is $50.00. The bird does not come with his cage, however, in order to avoid additional stress to the animal, we can make arrangements with the adopter.

If you’re interested to adopt this bird or wish to have more information, please contact Perroquetsecours at the following link: adoption@perroquetsecours.com or call 450-567-8765 or fill out our web form at the following link: http://www.perroquetsecours.com/?page_id=1860Perroquetsecours will make a pre-selection of the candidates that meet our rigorous criteria for adoption. The final choice of the adoptive family among all candidates will be at the sole discretion of Perroquetsecours.

Perroquetsecours must, on a regular basis, put some unclaimed found birds up for adoption and in doing so, it updates a database of candidates interested in adopting a parrot. Therefore, and although this is not its main mission, in exceptional circumstances and at its own discretion, it happens that Perroquetsecours agrees to intervene to help a person in need to find a new family for one or more of their birds.
